In this video, I provide hard scientific evidence that incorporating squat partials into your leg workouts will improve your strength significantly faster than if you were to only do full range squats (from standing completely up to your legs all the way bent at the knee). I also demonstrate how to do two squat variations - one that targets the lower half of the squat, which works primarily the glutes, as well as one that targets the upper half of the squat, which works primarily the quadriceps!
